A fun place for card making, crafting, playing, sharing creativity, and maybe a little inspiration now and then.

Summer Cool

Okay, let me start by reporting that our temperatures have dropped out of the 100 - 110F range and yesterday we sat at a chilling 99! lol Our weather men and ladies made that sound as if it was a near freezing temperature.

Today's card was inspired by my thoughts on how best to stay cool. :-D

I colored the image with my Copic Markers (where I have a better range of soft blues) and die cut it with an older die from Spellbinders. I inked the edges of both the die cut pieces and the hand cut sentiment. The bow is one of those "bowties" I've been doing lately, made with satin, polka dot, ribbon. A CAS design without a lot of bulk or embellishment.

It's Saturday, the weekend has started for most of us and, if you're in a place with cool(er) weather, count your blessings. You could be in hot, drought-stricken, central California wondering if the indoor air conditioning is ever going to stop running! Mine has been on since March 30. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConniePlease continue to leave comments. The "Word Verification" really isn't on. BLOGGER INSISTS ON SHOWING THE "CAPTCHA" ICON BUT IF YOU IGNORE IT AND JUST PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT, IT WILL POST JUST FINE. I WISH I COULD GET RID OF IT BUT THERE'S NO OPTION FOR THAT WHEN THE COMMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN A SEPARATE BOX. SORRY.

Hope cooler days are soon upon you, Connie. We are enjoying a brief respite here - very brief, and only a few degrees, but anything is a relief. Darling image! Isn't her little face so sweet? The blue tones bring the temperatures down a bit. Pretty and refreshing! Beautiful details, my dear friend! Hugs, de
